Img.vision uses permanent links that include the image’s filename. The folder an image sits in is not part of that link. Because of this, every filename in your drive needs to be unique, no matter which folder it’s in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is different from how Windows and Mac work, where you can have two files named the same thing as long as they’re in different folders. In Img.vision, the folder structure is just for organizing your images. The link only cares about the filename.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
